Private - Lua:

[vampish_aleera]

You have not been wholly truthful with me.

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

Why?

[vampish_aleera]

Because I am your guide. Because we agreed there would be efforts to trust.

Because it was not his responsibility - it was yours.

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

Thought you knew you couldn't.

[vampish_aleera]

Could not what?

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

Trust me.

[vampish_aleera]

And I thought you agreed to help me try...

[ She makes a quiet noise like "what no". In all fairness, she doesn't remember this happening. ]

[vampish_aleera]

Tell me... What would you do, were our positions reversed?

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

...I wouldn't be in it. [ More truth. ]

[vampish_aleera]

This was not my question.

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

...find someone who'd listen to me.

[vampish_aleera]

I would listen to you.

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

But you already did it.

[vampish_aleera]

Why did you do it, Lua?

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

I did it. Why doesn't matter.

[vampish_aleera]

It matters because I must decide on best how to discipline you...

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

Then why do you think I did it?

[vampish_aleera]

I always preferred my teachers to let me tell them of my motivations... I offer you this opportunity now.

I suggest it be taken.

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

If I don't? [ No challenge here. ]

[vampish_aleera]

I will have no choice but to make assumptions. Is that what you wish?

[ It can't get worse. She takes a deep breath, but still takes a few moments to start speaking. ] I hate him.

[ This, too, is true, if not the reason. ]

[vampish_aleera]

It must have been a great hatred for you to have harmed him so... What caused this?

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

... he's the guy I wanted to keep myself safe from.

And he's hurt my friends. [ She knows Aleera knows about her husband, she doubts she knows about Amanda. ]

[vampish_aleera]

Which friends...? How?

That girl he knows from back home - the one in a coma right now. He killed the only person who's ever loved her.

And you saw what he did here. Took the kindest thing someone's ever done to him and threw it back in his face.
